Also they really stopped that whole stop motion style cutscene after the first bit huh, I think this is the first episode in awhile to feature it.

yes but we get Beast in the East released on Monday and Murder Island livestreams for the past 3/4 weeks.
I found the window for some of them so small I would often just mash it out too
Like the bat one where you just stand in front of someone, is really hard to tell when it's gonna work
Yeah, it just ended abruptly so I don't think it was fully uploaded.

Exactly. Those are their worst two series right now.
wrongest post ever
I wonder how it feels to be the total opposite of me.

Abby!!! Where's ma Beast in the East.
They're both hilarious. Then again I haven't played either game so I might not get as frustrated as those who have put a lot of hours in yakuza and PUBG.

I've put hours into both and they're both great
Monday is by far the best day in the Giant Bomb week because it has their current two best series.
Also, Yakuza's combat is definitely not the greatest or deepest but it would probably help the enjoyment if they actually did anything other than mostly just button mashing.
Even just dodging and / or timing the combos instead of hitting the button 500 times would help.

Dan had a sick dodge today!

Wrong
I put plenty of hours into Yakuza and I both enjoy the series immensely and don't understand the complaints about them playing it wrong or whatever. Dan plays pretty much the way I played through the game and I found the combat satisfying and fun. I guess it's hard for Yakuza diehard fans to believe people may not be as invested as them in developing total mastery of the combat system? It's not like Dan's having to constantly restart fights or anything, nor are they taking him long enough to become boring. I find the game to be super well paced and the series definitely reflects that.
That was pretty cool.

Yakuza's combat as a series is never something I'm especially fond of.
This one seems slightly better but I haven't really played it to know.

How can you hate either? BitE has been consistently good and Murder Island is some of the best stuff they produce during the week, and it's on a home day. UPF seems to be more hit and miss depending on how long they stay on a single game. Still good all around, but probably their weakest if its an off week.
Speaking of off weeks, Jeff's at Judge's Week this week.
Normally I'm like you but seeing him struggle in group combat, while he's jamming on the circle and triangle buttons in Rush style but immediately stopping that after changing to Beast when the circle + triangle heat combo is a perfect group clearing move, was almost infuriating.
I understand their situation though, he plays so many games day to day but only plays this once a week so he's not going to remember specific context sensitive button combinations. Cut him some slack.

I didn't notice because I don't hear a lot of Chinese, but I do notice that the Chinese characters speak Japanese in a really thick accent despite not speaking more than the 5 phrases of Japanese I've picked up from games and whatnot. Specifically Lee's doctor friend who got crowbarred to death.

Honestly after the Japanese renaissance in the first half of this year, I'm looking at all these western AAA franchise iterations slated for the rest of this year and just kinda shrugging my shoulders.
Yeah you could say they speak Japanese the way they speak English in the subtitles.
It does kinda feel like it's going through the motions, but Far Cry and Assassin's could be good. And RDR2 is something

I actually honestly don't know what I want to play at the latter half of the year.
I could see a 2018/2019 tease for that.
Just put Fortune Street PS4 in English, it's all I ask.

BitE has subtitles, which makes it really hard to watch in the background. PBUG is a really boring game to watch aside from the time where nothing would load. If it were consistently bad like that, it would make for a fun TLC style of watching, but instead it's just a lot of running around and getting shot followed by them reflecting on why they died.
I'm holding out for a Monster Hunter announcement or some other reason to buy a Switch.
Looking like backlog time for me until Yakuza Kiwami.
I've still got Horizon and Gravity Rush 2 before playing Kiwami. Hopefully there's some good announcements at E3 as my end of the year is so far looking pretty barren.
Likely a well received, great selling and loved by it's players game. Fair play to them.

I could literally be happy all year with the what released between January up to Persona 5, I think.
Like I've spent a month and a half on Persona 5, and spent a month before that with Zelda. I am about to finish Persona, but after that there's still so much I want to play. Nioh, Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0, Horizon, Resident Evil 7...I haven't touched any of them.
I'm ready for a new AC

Likewise! In spite of how constant they put them out, I'm bummed that there was actually this long of a lull in between releases.
Can't wait for another one that has a good amount of time sunk into development.
Destiny 2 might pull me back in if Bungie can prove they still know how to tell a story. Idk, that's still a ways away and I have other games to play.
Battlefront 2 is exactly what I was looking for in Battlefront 1, so I'll be there this time.
BitE subs do kind of suck, but I'm fine with devoting more of my attention to because of how much the crew and I like the game and the videos they are doing. More so than their Shenmue vids. PUBG is all about the tension and seeing how they will ultimately fail. The stream last week was particularly good just because of the Vinny glitch. I can understand not enjoying the videos, but they are still quality.

So you dislike a series that you have to pay attention to, and you dislike a series that has boring moments where you can ignore the video until shit pops off?
???
As long as it keeps and improves upon the Panel de Pon minigame.
Wait, what franchise are we talking about?
Also where's BitE? I can't do any actual work until I watch it. Abbyyyyyyyy
